Melba Wilson in Sai Sankoh
The morning-TV moments โ Today, GMA, The View, Live with Kelly and Ryan
Melba Wilson has worn Sai Sankoh kaftans on national morning TV again and again, in bold animal prints, florals, and color.
The Harlem restaurateur behind Melba's Restaurant has been seen wearing Sai Sankoh on NBC's Today, on Good Morning America, on The View, and on Live with Kelly and Ryan. Not once โ many times. This is a wardrobe-appearance page, not a paid endorsement.


Why the Kaftans Work on Camera
Our prints are built to be seen from across a room, so they carry across a TV screen. They flatter seated, draping beautifully on couches and stools. And they're comfortable for a long segment โ one size, cut to skim, made to breathe.
How to Get the Look
Go bold with the print โ animal prints, florals, strong color. Let the shape do the work, one kaftan thrown on, done. Keep the rest simple: a clean sandal or heel, a few gold pieces.
Where to Wear Yours
A birthday dinner, a wedding or shower, a resort or cruise, a brunch or launch โ anywhere you want to be seen and remembered.

Why the kaftans work on camera
Camera is honest. It flattens some clothes and washes others out. A Sai Sankoh kaftan does the opposite. Here is why it holds up under studio lights.
- Color and print pop on screen. Our prints are built to be seen from across a room, so they carry across a TV screen with room to spare. Nothing gets lost. Nothing goes flat.
- They flatter seated. Morning segments are shot on couches and stools. A kaftan drapes and falls beautifully when you sit, so you look composed from every angle, not pulled or bunched.
- They are comfortable for a long segment. One size, cut to skim not cling, made to breathe. You can wear it through hair, makeup, a green room, and a live hit without a single tug. Comfort you forget about, so you can focus on being on.
That mix is exactly what makes it work off camera too. A birthday dinner, a wedding, a girls trip. Same reasons, same compliments.
How to get the look
You do not need to copy an outfit line for line. You need the three things that make the look land.
1. Go bold with the print. Melba wears animal prints, florals, and strong color. Pick the print that makes you smile the second you see it. That is the one people will remember.
2. Let the shape do the work. One kaftan, thrown on, done. No fuss, no fitting room stress. Our kaftans are One Size and fit 0 to 24, so the shape flatters without a struggle.
3. Keep the rest simple. Let the kaftan be the loudest thing you have on. A clean sandal or heel, a few gold pieces, and you are ready to be noticed.

From Sai
I design for the woman who wants to walk in and be remembered. Seeing Melba wear our kaftans on national TV, again and again, in the boldest prints she can find, is exactly the feeling I want every woman to have when she puts one on. You do not need a studio. You just need a reason to be seen. Pick your print. Go be noticed.
Never go unnoticed.
